NOTICE
Q Notice on gasoline fuel quality
O Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
O Do not use gasoline with metallic additives, for example manganese, iron
or lead, otherwise it may cause damage on your engine or emission con-
trol system.
O Do not add aftermarket fuel additives which contain metallic additives.
O Do not use the methanol blended gasoline such as M15, M85, M100. The
use of gasoline containing methanol may cause engine damage or failure.
O Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as “E50” or “E85” and fuel contain-
ing a large amount of ethanol should not be used. Your vehicle can use
gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The use of fuel with more than 10%
ethanol content (E10) will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You must
ensure that refueling is carried out only from a source where fuel specifica-
tion and quality can be guaranteed. In case of any doubt, ask any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
